Answer: $ 36,840.
Step-by-step explanation:
contribution margin=62% =0.62
fixed monthly expenses = $45,000
Sales = $132,000
We assume that the fixed monthly expenses do not change.
Then, company's net operating income = (contribution margin×Sales )-fixed monthly expenses
=$( (0.62×132000)-45000 )
= $ (81840-45000)
= $ 36,840
Hence, the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $132,000 is $ 36,840.
